I've had to come to this realization after being one of his major supporters. My family member informed me that the team cut Mason and Alridge because they were still having issues with MM not picking up the his blocks in practice or in the KC game. Aparently he whiffed on two plays in which ARE could have gotten the ball and one on another play which had JC had time one of our WR's would have gotten a good gain. Alridge was cut cause during practice he still keeps fumbling. They don't want to put him on the field for fear he will fumble during a game.

I don't know where my family got the info...they don't have any inside connections just passing along what may have been the problem and as I said I was a major supporter of MM and Alridge. If this is the true issue then I think we can all agree MM and Alridge were not going to help the team. Although, being the stubborn person that I am, I threw out there that they should cut Sellers also since he supposedly has been missing his blocks also according to Portis. But...wake up call for me. There will be other players in the future for whome we can back and maybe ones that can actually perform.
